She is the bastard offspring of Euthanizeallwhitepeople and THISISNOTJAPAN. You thought THEY were the silliest? You haven't seen BronzeBun.

http://bronzebun.tumblr.com/

BronzeBun's mission is to re-photoshop photos of pale-looking KPOP stars, basically "darkwashing" to compensate for the supposed "whitewashing" of the stars' skins.

The weird thing is that she's outraged only over the manipulation of the boys' skin complexions. All other image manipulations get a pass from here. She doesn't care that they use lenses to change their eye colors, or that they get surgery to change the shapes of their jawlines, or that they bleach their hair.

The weirdest part of this is that a huge number of Koreans are actually pale. They're certainly not orange.

Well, as you'd expect, there's a heavy overarching evaluative context that isn't Korean. It's really about American identity politics being projected on East Asia.

Bun is apparently the new Jun. See:

If this girl is Asian at all she is half "Chinese" at best. My bet is that she is some kind of delusional Koreaboo of South American heritage tbh. I don't know why it is so difficult to understand that being fair skinned is, and has been for a long time, a desired trait in many Asian cultures. Sure, people being edited to appear more pale than they really are can be annoying (at least for me) but this shit has nothing to do with evils of "da white cishet male supremacists".

No. 111416

> if you’re whitewashing your idols so they have #FFFFFF skin, you do not love them. You don’t even like them. If you loved them, you’d be able to see how beautiful and fresh their gorgeous dark skin is. It’s that simple.

lmao what

tumblr loves the oversaturated pastel blob aesthetic for their photos. i don't think people are lightening their photos because they want them to look more white (in fact i think most of them fetishize the fact that they are korean but u kno) but rather so they will match their milky pale pink grid background blog theme.

and yeah that girl looks white as hell. anyone can dig up more photos of her so we can see for sure?

No. 111425

Some Koreans look pale naturally. I would know because I've grown up around Koreans who lived in great poverty. They couldn't afford skin lightening agents. Some can be tan skinned.

I've also grown up around white people who had naturally darker skin and some who were extremely pale. They tended to have red hair

Mewmii and this girl are the same.

http://bronzebun.tumblr.com/post/119708575004/hey-where-are-you-from-like-ethnicity-wise

She has a full on vendetta against this girl easymind for being a koreaboo basically and posts a lot about how she's MAYO!!!!11 or whatever and will never be a model in Korea (never mind the fact that white people do get hired in Asia as models? lol). It's kind of sad and very reminiscent of Jun who would pool his followers against people for being racist/appropriating culture or whatever.

The thing is…this bitch is half asian and Chinese at that. She has about as much right to talk about Korean standards and make fun of Koreaboos as her non-asian side.

Exactly this. Any time anyone says they are as much as half Chinese (or Korean or Japanese), you can TELL if they are. I feel like she chose to be half Chinese instead of Korean so that people wouldn't immediately call her on appropriation since she's so into kpop.

Also she picked the most generic native American to be. Like yeah there are definitely actual Cherokee people don't get me wrong, but it's kind of become one of those white girl "I'm totes part Cherokee" things because so many Americans are some tiny percentage Cherokee. And as for Hawaiian? She doesn't look remotely Polynesian either.

Chinese is the new fad because it's still East Asian but not as suspicious as Japanese or Korean, which have usually been the kawaii lied about ones. Plus the oppression points are always a bonus.

I for one am fucking thrilled that Jun formerly of euthanizeallwhitepeople has returned to tumblr! I've missed the bile, the misplaced anger the flawed logic the blind rage aimed at white girls. Bless his/her heart, so glad they've decided things have cooled down enough to pop their head over the barricades again.

At first this blog was interesting, because colorism is actually a huge thing across Asia …. I've seen pictures of idols where you can see the white make up on their hands and arms… Yuck. I thought the attempts at "correcting" the color was a bit amateurish but whatever…. However when this blogger started going after the girl that objected to the colorization that things got really interesting and hilarious.

All the old Jun-isms where there, calling her Mayo, calling her ugly making colorism about white people (been going on for centuries before east Asia has much contact with whitey) bringing out cracker etc etc classic Jun and euthanizeallwhitepeople

I could understand them and other East Asians or South east Asians who are the biggest supporters of the Hallyu Wave trying to combat against white washing.

Not because having light skin is wrong, but because there is nothing wrong with having tan skin and it shouldn't be treated as such.

Same thing with monolids, how can people who naturally have them shame others for it? They're beautiful just like double eyelids, it's a shame that so many people get the surgery for bigger looking eyes.

What I like about this >>111879 post is that it locates the values, desires and activism within East Asia itself. It was refreshing and I very much appreciated it.

Too often, we see blogs like Euthanizeallwhitepeople, ThisisnotJapan and this BronzeBun thing are not really coming from within East Asia but rather from the very America-centric tumblrina SJW subculture.

There are many Tumblr blogs published from within East Asia. They just never seem to wade into this faux-intellectual left style of the American blogs.

No. 111905

When you come across tedious, repetitive, pedantic activism on Tumblr you find, almost 100% of the time, that it's from North America. So, when I saw this bronzebun blog, I could tell right away that it wasn't really an East Asian perspective.

whoever is in here trying to say "she totally looks half what are you talking about, she doesn't look white AT ALLL" is clearly butthurt.

if enough people think she looks white, aka most of this thread, she is white-passing if not completely white. enough people raised their eyebrows when she said she was chinese to go find other pictures to confirm. you know?

i would like to find an entry where she addressed the privilege she had as a white passing person. that would make me like her a LITTLE more. but i have seen so many white girls pretending to be asian on tumblr it's kind of surprising.

>>111879
i agree with this anon, and feel that it's sort of not her place to talk about issues facing dark-skinned asian women considering she does not appear to be a dark-skinned asian woman and lives in new york, not korea or china.

i guess i also can't believe that she as really experienced that kind of discrimination, not having lived in a mainly-asian country or appearing mainly asian. i feel like if she lived in china people would just assume she's a foreigner – and rightly so, because she is. i don't think they'd have anything to say about her skintone.

and furthermore…if she were an openly white girl doing this blog project, i think a lot of asian sjws would skewer her and talk about how it's racist to assume any of them don't want to be pale or maybe they are naturally pale etc etc and how she has no RIGHT.

but yeah i'm fairly certain the desire to be pale (at least in japan and korea) has been around before white people were even a thing. not to mention white people didn't really have the same effect on east asia as they did with other parts of the world lol.

Oh. I've seen this tumblr.
She's half right though. I'd say when it comes to Koreans based off the few that I know…it's pretty common that they have somewhat darker skin tones. By darker what I mean is just lighter than what is shown in pictures. Not really dark brown or anything. Yellow. Asians are yellow toned. The thing though is that yes, most of them are photoshopped ghost white.

Only someone who isn't Asian would deny that Koreans (like most other Asians) are yellow toned with SOME even being bronze tanned looking. It's not rare or uncommon but isn't all of them either. Does that make sense? So, setting that side.

I think the girl who runs that tumblr looks flat out white herself. But regardless of her ethnicity, the reaction she's getting out of people is interesting. Too bad she'll probably be outted as full white/not Asian even in the slightest and then delete shortly after just like every other asian-fanbase angering tumblr that comes about.

I need clarification on Bun's theory of Who, When and How. Who is doing the whitewashing? At what point (When) in the production/release/presentation of an image does it become whitewashed? How is the whitewashing done?

Maybe she's answered these questions already and I'm just not looking in the right places. Or maybe she keeps it all sort of ambiguous (as with her national identity). I don't know. Do any of you know?

Who?
1) Are the boys whitewashing themselves using makeup or whatever?
2) Are their production agencies whitewashing them with makeup or photo editing?
3) Are their fans taking non-whitewashed original sources and whitewashing them to post to Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram?

When?
1) Is it happening in the dressing room where makeup artists prepare the boys?
2) Is it happening in the photo sessions where photographers and art directors capture the boys' images?
3) Is it happening in the photo editing process?

How?
1) Is it done with makeup?
2) Is it done with lighting?
3) Is it done with photo editing?
4) All of the above?

What is Bun alleging? Sorry if I've just not paid enough attention. Hope these questions aren't too tedious!

Actually I think most of us agree that kpop idols(and other celebrities of color) are whitewashed.

What most people are reacting to is BronzeBun's blatant white-lookingness, the way she harassed some random "mayo" koreaboo, and generally her attitude all around.

I don't really take issue with the blog itself although yeah the colorations are a bit amateur, who cares. The girl behind it is pretty lol.

>>112395
There's cultural emphasis put on Asian people to be paler, with darker ones being made fun of. So there's a combination of makeup, skin lightening, etc plus photoshop, lightening, and editing, to make them look paler.

It's honestly mainly Koreans (either themselves or their producers/managers/magazine editors) doing most of the lightening. The fanbase who is making edits and icons aren't really lightening them because they find pale attractive, for the most part, but rather because the washed out pastel aesthetic is hip and popular on tumblr etc. You see the same thing with food and flowers, it's not really limited to kpop idols.

It's definitely a real cultural issue but she is kind of implying that non-Asians are the ones who are doing most of it.

I mean if you google "Asian whitening" you can see a slice of what I'm talking about. There are tons of whitening creams/masks on the market. Even if you buy a mask meant for moisturizing or something unrelated it probably has a whitening agent just because the push toward being paler is so desired.

It's one of those things that is incredibly common and ingrained in Asian culture that you can find a lot of articles about it. As for like proper studies and scholarly resources and shit you're on your own as I don't really have the energy to plow through any of that.

There are thousands of cool people from Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, and HK on Tumblr. I know because I'm in East Asia and I develop online communities for regional users (including via Tumblr). I'm not bragging or trying to sound awesome or cool. It just happens to be the case. Most users are from Korea, then Japan, then China, then USA, then Taiwan.

this "white-wash" thing has been going on before they ever seen whites

it is not "whitewashing". it is only whitewashing if it is done to make them look caucasian. it is asian culture and aesthetics to be pale long before white people. yes they are photoshopping and using bleaching creams, but you can't call it whitewashing, because they aren't trying to be white people, they just want to be pale asian royalty.

No. 112554

When EXO M came to Barcelona I took photos of them and as some of the photos were dark I had to brighten them up and ended up looking like if they were really pale. Sometimes it's because of the lighting, and sometimes it's because what >>112539 said, being pale/having Snow White's skin in Asian is considered as a social status thing which I think is something dumb, but I'm not going to argue with the ones who think that because everybody has their own preferences. Some 'masters' of fansites don't edit their skins which I think it's cool, and some of them edit them as if they were vampires or ghosts. It's not difficult to see when the photo has been brightened or the skin whitened.
Anyways I think it's ridiculous to darken the skins in photos that have been whitened/brightened if you're not a pro using Photoshop, it looks like they use Meitu XiuXiu because their skins are orange or a shade which is not theirs.

I think the argument they're trying to make is that you can edit a photo by changing it's contrast without making the people in them look like ghosts

I am pale and regularly brighten my photographs and make sure my skin doesn't look unnaturally bright

Besides, when you have good quality cameras, this shouldn't be that big of an issue

Some Kpop fans do focus on lightening the skin as much as possible as you can see in the edit posted above, where they missed a section of his neck and left it as it was originally in >>111521

Does that mean that everyone who lightens skin does it because they want them to resemble a different race? No, that would be incredibly faulty thinking when its obvious that people like them because of the fact that they look Korean.

Many, like many Koreans themselves have said, prefer lighter skin, so they lighten the skin on their images because they think it looks better.

Not only that, to assume that by Koreans wanting light skin = Koreans wanting to be white dismisses the fact that there are white people who don't have light skin. It also ignores Korean history involving light skin (poor farmers = out in the sun all day, so they became dark, royalty/rich = pale), that there are Koreans who don't want anything to do with white people, and Koreans who lighten their skin out of pressure to conform not because they want to, much less than because they want to look white in a place where the population of white people is incredibly small.

I don’t normally mess with KPOP images, but just made that "bad edit" of Chen and Xuimin (looking super-pale) as a joke after reading this thread. It was intentionally "bad."

The proximate source was indeed this >>111521 However, it has to be noted that >>111521 was NOT the "original" photo but rather the orange-ized edit produced and blogged by the notorious BronzeBun.

BronzeBun’s source probably looked like this:

I don't really notice this. I see a lot of black Tumblr users follow other none-whites only if they speak about racism as it applies to black people. For example, the whole shadism thing is pretty well know within the black community, which is what Bronze talks about. On the other hand, you never see black people follow or reblog anything from a none-white that involves facing racism from none-white people (even though it's very common.) They would probably ignore a Korean who complained about facing discrimination in Japan, yet they applaud a Chinese-American girl who talks about shadism.

Whitesupremacykpop and bronzebun appear to be aligned in the way they both recognize that shade-ism is at play in KPOP. And they both focus on the way that this shade-ism is expressed either deliberately or unconsciously by people who edit KPOP photos. They're against that. But it seems like their tumblr re-activism isn't pointed at KPOP's Korean producers, managers, or magazine editors. The bad guys appear to be fans who edit photos in an amateur way for their own blogs.

Somehow, it's a big concern for North American Tumblrinas of color (TOC). BronzeBun looks white, but can claim TOC membership thanks to some non-white heredity.

We can only gather that they really just hate other non-Korean fans, especially the white non-Korean fans. I mean, that’s who they go after. Signal boost, dogpile and then nearly dox poor easyxmind, and so on.

So, this is like trying to mobilize serious activism against white girls who love EXO. Imagine if that was your life's mission.

Whitesupremacykpop/bronzebun’s "important" activism is to kick against a great oppressor. And, in this case, that great oppressor turns out to be the existence of little white fangirls on Tumblr. Whitesupremacykpop/bronzebun’s re-activism has a chorus of young sistahs backing it all up. It must give them encouragement, a feeling of — Yeah, right on and righteousness comrades.

sometimes I think it's because a lot of white people themselves who travel to Korea say that when Koreans have plastic surgery that involves having double eyelids, a higher nose bridge; dying their hair lighter colors, wearing contacts and lightening their skin, that they're trying to look white like them.

I've come across many blog posts that say "I was approached by all these Koreans wanting to touch me or come talk to me because I was white" when it necessarily isn't about that at all.

I read some comment on an article that said its similar to how some white people think that anime characters are white because of the way they are drawn. They're placing their ideals onto others.

It's not as though white people are attempting to look latino, middle eastern, asian or black when they have certain procedures done like tanning, bigger butts, less body hair, etc.

If people said Koreans highly value Korean beauty and left it at that, other peoples race wouldn't be brought into it.

Now, what about the term "whitewashing"? How much do you wanna bet that it was coined by Americans and originally had something to do with US racial politics, not just photo filtering apps. Let’s see…

So, what's our consensus regarding how the term "white" is being used by these SJW KPOP blogs?

Are they taking about lightness of tone? Or are they talking about people of European descent?

Is Korean whitewashing about racism or not?

Is there any relation between Korean whitewashing and American whitewashing?

It seems to me that BronzeBun and the dontwhitewashKPOP blogger can't help but want to keep the distinction murky. It's kind of a Korean thing but also something that all our SJW POC friends can get revved up about. Not an either/or but a both/and.

No. 113958

"White" in Korean culture means "light." "White" in sjw culture always means "caucasian."

It would be silly to think that BronzeBun and co didn't know about asian whitening being a thing or even perhaps the origin, but of course she will frame it in such a way that white devil can be blamed and non-asian people of color can bandwagon alongside. So it's kind of a 50/50 split at best.

It seems like it's kind of similar to how tanning is in the US. People do talk about "orange" fake tan as if they look alienlike so they will talk about ghosty white people, but generally we don't see a lot of criticism of tan skin in our media. We don't even really notice it unless someone is super pale. We don't really think of why tan is seen as healthy/beautiful, it just kind of "is."

Knowing that it comes from the idea that you get out a lot or go on vacations etc vs the average American sedentary/indoors lifestyle does put an interesting spin on things but there isn't much more to analyze beyond that. It doesn't really matter in the long run, someone might make a comment about how pale or sick you look and that's it.

BronzeBun definitely is insinuating that media whitewashing of Korean stars is related to race but it really isn't. It isn't like whitewashing of black or latina/o stars in the US where it truly is racial. If anything white-centric media tends to keep Asian stars their natural tone because slightly tan is appealing to us,

I mean I am mainly talking about America obviously as that is my frame of reference and we aren't a white-only country or anything but you kinda know the state of race relations here. I am white but I know a little about whitening etc due to interest in Asian culture and some Asian relatives (by marriage)…but my insight is not the end all or anything.

No. 113990

>>113966

Yes, that's a useful point. The blogs related to supposed "whitewashing" in KPOP associate it with US racial politics through constant insinuation. They might not even be conscious of it, but far left echo chamber re-activists in America have learned a lot from the far right echo chamber re-activists. Political insinuendo is a key tool at either pole's toolbox. It really is just like "truthiness."

So, they clearly depend on American POC warriors for encouragement. Even if they can't make this explicitly into a racial thing, at least they can push all the right buttons to make it feel like one.

You really do need a mob of dittoheads to click Like and to help you signal boost and bully the people who publicly dispute the concepts you cling to.

Anyway, we can safely assume that there's no attempt in this American SJW community to try to communicate with people in the industry in Korea.

Tan is fine here. So I don't know where she gets off saying that it's not and we want to mayonnaiseify anyone who isn't whitey Mcwhite colored. It's more of a problem when the person is a lot darker and the media lightens them to make them more "appealing".


>>113990
It's just too easy to pick on the fans editing and reblogging the photos and then equate it to racial politics in the US. It just shows you how "progressive" they really are. They still can't see outside of their little bubble no matter how much they try to convince everyone otherwise. If they were really into activism for whitewashed photos they'd attempt some kind of contact with the industry to voice their concerns. It's like those tumblrinas who complain about cultural appropriation but never go after the companies that mass produce bindis and war bonnets ect… You'll just occasionally see a post asking you to boycott some tacky hipster wear from Urban Outfitters. But never any collective effort to go after the source. They go after other tumblr users who post pics instead.

The thing about most tumblr sjw is that they have americentric views, believing that that oppression suffered by certain populations in the U.S. will be viewed exactly the same across the world.

First of all, every nation/ethnic group/culture has a different history. Dark skinned people were not enslaved in every single country, nor were they viewed as less then, so they did not have to go through lifetimes of feeling as though they had to change to somehow be considered worthy.

Now, there are countries where being dark skinned is undesirable if you are someone from that same ethnic group. A lot of east and south east Asians admire black celebrities, however, they would not want to look like that because in their eyes, their ethnic group is most beautiful when they are pale. They don't apply the same standards toe everyone, especially people who are naturally like that.

I understand if sjw feel it's fucked up for East/South East Asians to feel pressure to conform, since In the U.S. people are taught to value individuality and to have self confidence in ones own uniqueness ("be a leader not a follower") and to own their "flaws" which is why we see so many campaigns (Dove) and blogs dedicated to self love targeting obesity, dark skin, kinky hair, stretch, scars, etc.

However, not every place is going to view things this way, and there is nothing wrong with that. Not every Korean person thinks that having light skin is ideal, nor does each one want that for themselves, however, if the majority do find that to be ideal than why shame them into wanting to look what they find beautiful.

In the U.S. huge tits were considered ideal (now people are embracing small boobs as well) and girls were getting implants as soon as they graduated. People risk skin cancer to get tans. People fry their hair bleaching it. People wear contacts. People get lipo. People remove ribs for a smaller waist. People get butt implants.

Why is skin whitening viewed as too drastic when it comes to Koreans though? It's like telling them they don't have a right to change themselves if they want to when the people themselves do not see anything wrong with it. In fact, they feel worse for having to remain in a state they're unhappy with in a place where plastic surgery is not always looked down on.

Also, by whitewashing I do think they mean lightening of the skin when it applies to skin alone, though many seem to use it when they apply to people who have had multiple procedures that drastically change their appearance into a supposedly more European one.

Skin lightening doesn't have to do with race in Korea (at least most of the time, there are people who do want to look European, but those are also the ones who get more procedures done to try and achieve that), it has to do with beauty standards.

Lighter skin on Koreans = more attractive.

>Also, by whitewashing I do think they mean lightening of the skin when it applies to skin alone, though many seem to use it when they apply to people who have had multiple procedures that drastically change their appearance into a supposedly more European one.


And this is perfectly understandable to me, even if it is often wrong. Korea is a country that normalizes plastic surgery even moreso than America, so I think it's even more telling when sjws choose the one thing having to do with color/potentially race to go after.

Ahhhhhh, okay, I’m getting it. Hence the focus on "edits."

You and Bun are not out to criticize/pester/change the KPOP intustry. Your blogs turn all of that activist energy on other fans within the Tumblr universe. Right?

But, but…
Image lightening is created first of all by the idols own skin care, the entertainment houses’ producers, makeup staff, lighting professionals/photographers, then the media companies, and then maybe further lightened by amateurs such as fans on Tumblr. It still begs the question: How can you (or Bun) actually know just by looking at a .JPG, .PNG or .GIF file how much of the lightening was caused by the fans? A lot of the images come from sources that can be found on the web. Why can’t Bun just go get the originals instead of turning lightened 2nd-generation edits orange?

And, even if you can show that a fan on Tumblr lightened her images, how can you just assume racist intent and knowingly get a crowd of Tumblr POC to express contempt for her? Your own fans are sort of addicted to expressing contempt for other users.

sorry I don't know how to reply to a specific reply, but I don't know why you keep grouping me wiht this Bun person, I have never spoken to her and I don't know anything about her. I was under the impression that she was only editing pictures that have been edited to be whitewashed, but if she's editing non edited pictures because she thinks they're paler because of makeup or something I can't really support that. I don't know what she does though, I only ever went on her blog twice and I saw the video of how she did it and found it interesting.
I only ever reblog photos that I can tell have been lightened by a fan, either because I have seen the original or because it's so blatantly obvious. I'm not going to criticize anyone for wearing too pale bb cream, so. I think if you look at my blog you will agree that it's really obvious that the pictures have been edited by a fan. even if an official photo has been made paler, they're done well, these arn't.
and for your last point, most of the time I repost the edits, so that whoever made them doesn't get hate for them, because it's about the edit, not the person, in which case the intent doesn't matter. I admit though I sometimes reblog cause I'm lazy or I'm annoyed by the editor because they always do it or because they claim not to do it when they quite clearly do. that's just me being bitter, though.

so basically there was some drama with some kpop guy saying he preferred pale skin and a bunch of stans defended him but of course the sjws were like NOPE THAT'S RACIST and it became a whole thing.

bun/mewmii is now being called racist for calling the guy a "tiny ass ching chong" "yellow bastard" "chink." she's claiming she is being called "not really chinese" because she's half chinese. i'm sure the people saying she's not really chinese are saying so because she looks WHITE not because she's actually chinese.

also she is saying she never said that. so idk where this started.

but i mean i'm not sure why someone would go on someone's tumblr and say "this doesn't excuse you for calling him a chink" or whatever.

not sure what happened. but anyway she's trying to be like "i'm innocent because i'm chinese," which i can't tell if it means "i'm chinese so i would never say that" or "since i'm chinese it's OK."

Alexa Chung's eyes are "white" for sure; big, close-set and blue. However, her facial bone structure has a blobbiness that would be seen more among Asians. Also, her nose bridge is not as well defined in frontal shots and her nose is wide! Not to mention her lips are very full. While sure there are some white people who have features like this, they are more commonly found in Asians.

I agree Alexa looks very white but there is a distinct Asianness to her features. I've seen some mixed people who looked completely white, like a girl who was a ginger but 1/4 Japanese. But I think people who are 1/2 will definitely look more mixed.

No. 116594

man who cares if she's half or not, or if half chinese can look full white. it's not like it's impressive to be part chinese. SHE looks white. the biggest issue is she tries to include herself on korean issues while not being any part korean.

A lot of people on tumblr do fan edits because the white and black aesthetic is really crisp and it looks clean. I prefer it too. It has nothing to do with evil crackers. I've seen idols live and honestly people don't give a shit about what colour they are. That happens within their own Korean culture mostly and existed way before white colonizers anyway.

Here's something:

These social justice tumblrinas have all these identities that are righteous and good, and they love to express contempt for another group of identities that are said to be evil and bad. And, well…

There is one class of identity that is often treated very badly but never gets any protection from the SJW tumblrinas. That is, old people. Anyone over 30 can be freely disparaged, ridiculed, maligned, slandered, and worse. It's all good to them. They don't kick against "age-ism." If you engage in age shaming, the SJW's will just let it happen.

You can be a disabled, Chinese, black, Muslim female transgendered fat person and get their full support as long as you're young.

Let's also note that if Bun claims "Chinese" identity, and she's obviously mixed (even if we take her at her word regarding the Chinese part of her DNA). Maybe she's got some Cherokee or something in there, too. But is she not part Euro/white/caucasian? She never seems to identify that way. Can't she say, "I'm white, bitch" just as easily as she let's loose with "I'm Chinese, bitch"?

Of course they can freely choose how to identify. Maybe you missed the point. Bun claims zero white heritage, so we can put her case aside for a moment. Instead, let's generalize. Any tumblrina who's half white and half Asian will always opt to be seen as Asian, especially on Tumblr, even if they grew up 100% with the white side of the family. There's no benefit on Tumblr to claiming white heritage. It's only a liability, a detriment.

Obviously, Bun's silly heart is with the latter group. So, why layer on a veneer of social justice? I reckon that it gives her protection, a license to pretend to be East Asian.

To clarify, anon wasn't saying "animu" is a word in the Japanese language.
Weeaboos like to add "u" at the end of every word to make it sound more "Japanese" (think of "desu" and how it's meant to be pronounced "dess" with like a soft "u"? weeaboos take this to a whole other level)
The joke is that even though anime is properly pronounced with an "ee", your average ignorant weeb will probably add an "u" at the end.
On that note, no one really uses the term "animu" or attributes it to Japan except when they're joking. It's a form of ironic, and somewhat cynical humor. Unless you are autistic, this shouldn't be hard to understand.

Really? A mature person actually living and working in East Asia might never have heard of weeaboos putting down other weeaboos, a goofy subculture that only exists among American teens. Somebody may be long on the internet – maybe longer than some of us have been alive – but just not especially hip to the weeaboo internet. From out in East Asia itself, your American cosplay/anime/whatever battles don't really register. You seem to be battling over who gets to be at the top of that pathetic heap and who doesn't. Don't flatter yourselves by claiming that you represent the entire internet or the entire world.

The subject herself (Bun the bronzer) has been same fagging here, i.e., engaging in shameless sock puppetry.

Looks hapa to me (as a fellow hapa). That said, aren't there plenty of k-pop MVs with White models in it?

Because White is the standard, obviously.

I've been 5 feet away from B.A.P
They looked pretty pale to me. I'm sure a lot of the time pictures aren't white washing it's just the lighting or the flash on the camera.
